Keep your garden birds happy and healthy with our 25kg bag of premium niger seeds, also known as Nyjer or Thistle seeds. This bulk pack consists of two 12.55kg bags, giving you plenty of high-quality bird food to last through the seasons. Carefully sourced and meticulously cleaned, these seeds are packed with natural oils, protein, and fibre, making them a top choice for feeding small garden birds like goldfinches, siskins, and buntings.

Why Choose Niger Seeds?

Niger seeds are tiny, black, oil-rich seeds that are loved by small-beaked birds. They’re especially popular with finches, but you might also see house sparrows, redpolls, and other small garden visitors enjoying them. Their high energy content makes them perfect for wild birds all year round, helping them stay strong during breeding season and build fat reserves in the colder months.

How to Feed Niger Seeds

For the best results, serve niger seeds in a specially designed niger seed feeder. These feeders are made with tiny feeding ports to minimise waste and make it easier for small birds to enjoy the seeds. You can also:

Place them on a bird table to attract a variety of birds.
Use ground feeders for easy access, especially during bad weather.
Position feeders in a sheltered, quiet spot in your garden to make birds feel safe while feeding.

Niger seeds are lightweight, so be mindful of windy conditions that might cause spillage.
